TWDTT 018 – Conquer (S5E16)

Talking Through Conquer
What a season! Although not ending on a huge cliffhanger as with the previous season’s finale, the concluding episode of season five still left us with enough questions to keep us occupied and discussing throughout the long hard break between seasons. Thankfully, we didn’t see any of our core cast bite the dust, but this episode still had us twisting and turning with fear for our favorite characters. There were a few plot snafus, but they were minor enough that they did not detract from our overall opinion of Conquer. We were still on the edges of our seats for the majority of this 90-minute episode.
Ratings were up!
For us, the final episode of season five did not disappoint, and according to the ratings, much of America agrees with us. Conquer, The Walking Dead season five finale, once again won the night for cable with an uptick in the ratings from the previous week, and with Talking Dead coming in second. Only 181 days until October and counting. Conquer got an 8.20 in the 18-49 demographic, with 15.784 million viewers, up from last week‘s 7.00 and 13.757 million viewers.
